I am stymied... about to put my tools away! Ugh... I am attempting to install the RCI Rear Shock Mount Skids but am stuck at step 1a in the instructions.
It says to "Shift the lower linkage bolt so that the nut contacts the mount and there is space between the bolt head and the mount." Which seems simple enough (see pic below) except every technique I have tried (rubber hammer, regular hammer, c-clamp, lever, pry bar, and inappropriate use of screwdriver) has failed!
I am working on it on the ground, have no lift. Wondering if I need to jack it up and let the wheel dangle or something. Anyone done this install successfully and have suggestions? @RCI Offroad got any pro tips?
